The History of Addovation
Addovation’s story began in 2008, following a classic tech company narrative: two founders with a vision—Per Inge Sævareid and Kenneth Smith—who, after 16 years in the ERP industry, saw a gap between customer expectations and what ERP systems could deliver. This led to the founding of Addovation, combining "Add" and "innovation" to bridge that gap with new solutions.
From a two-person startup, we've grown to a team of 200, expanding from ERP consulting and software development to offering a comprehensive suite of tailored solutions. Today, Addovation keeps evolving, finding new ways to meet our clients' needs. See our growth in the image carousel next to this.
